I would like to recommend 'Mike's Darts and Accessories', basically an e-bay store but you can contact him personally for great deals. He is based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Very fast and cheap shipping and anything he doesn't have he can order...J.D.

"On Holidays" I think I looked at him before though, dart prices were higher but shipping was definitely lower and of course would be faster just coming across the country.
Lol, yeah he's gone till the 10th. I only get shafts and flights from him and compared to my nearest dart shop, he's cheaper...J.D.
It's a good heads up for Canadian folks for sure, especially if you don;t want to wait too long to get your stuff.
Speaking in general, not just about Mike, I've found that when I've ordered stuff from Canada (I'm in Los Angeles) shipping has taken a really long time. Even longer than stuff from Pure in the UK. US Customs? Dunno. Anyway, that said, I like Mike and will order from him again, I'm sure.
ya ive ordered darts from him as well, and if i did'nt like them he took them back.

Canada customs doesn't trust the USA and vice versa. Not to mention the 2 postal services in general don't play well with each other. It is less expensive for me to ship a package from Alberta to the UK than it is to ship from here to Montana (90 minute drive) Not to mention the ridiculous duty and customs charges... This is why I never buy from the USA

I know folks not near the border can't do this but luckily I can...J.D.
Nobody trusts anybody anymore, or ever. customs suck between USofA and Canada. I order blades from a guy in Niagra Falls, Can and he crosses the border into Buffalo to get them to me quicker and for less shipping charges

I've been looking for places in Canada place orders with. I think i'll give this guy a try.
I avoid ordering anything from the U.S if I can for the reasons given above. It just ends up being too much of a hassle and expense unfortunately.
Freddy you can order from the states and pick it up in Ogdensburg NY at the UPS store 5 bucks to pick up, be a drive down the 416 maybe 417 depending where you are in ottawa area
